Neither, necessarily. The player could reach over and touch the ball in the backcourt (or on the line) and create a backcourt violation, if that player's team was in team control at the time, and that player's team was the last to touch the ball prior to it entering the backcourt.
NFHS Rule 9-9-1 A player shall not be the first to touch a ball after it has been in team control in the frontcourt, if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt.
